Phone: 248-875-3567‬
Emma is from Commerce, Michigan. She is an alumni of the club’s predecessor Force FC. She attended Walled Lake Northern High School where she was a three-time All-District Team selection, two-time Kensington Lakes Activities Association (KLAA) selection, as well as All-County, All-Regional and All-State selection. She then went on to play at Oakland University (2015-2019) where she is one of few players in program history to play in every game throughout her four years there.
Emma began coaching in 2018 while still competing at the collegiate level, quickly developing a passion for player development and high-performance environments. Since the inception of the ECNL Regional League (ECNL RL) program, she has been actively involved in its growth and success, serving as a coach and spending the past three years as Technical Director for the club.
Throughout her time with ECNL RL, Emma has helped guide multiple teams to ECNL RL postseason playoffs while contributing to the development of high-level players within the club. Her impact has also been recognized nationally, having been selected to participate in five ECNL RL National Selection Games over the past four years.
Committed to continued professional development, Emma recently earned her U.S. Soccer B License, one of the highest coaching certifications in the United States. She was also invited to participate in the SheChampions Program, an elite initiative that brings together top female coaches from across the country. Through this program, she has had the opportunity to collaborate directly with staff from the U.S. Women’s National Team, gaining valuable insight into high-performance coaching and leadership.
In addition to her club responsibilities, Emma is an Assistant Coach at the University of Detroit Mercy, where she works with student-athletes competing at the NCAA Division I level.

What does it mean to represent Liverpool FC:
“Being part of Liverpool feels like being part of a family. Their core values are unmatched and it’s a privilege to be able to work with amazing coaches and people that continue to push me to be the best I can be. This club has done so much for me growing up and has molded me into the person that I am today. Now I feel like it’s my turn to pass this onto others and hopefully give them the same experience that I did.”
